SCENE IN A THEATRE.
The spectators at the Theatre Royal (Melbourne) were provided with an unlooked-for sensation during the progress of the perfoimanc a few nights since. After the close of the first act attention was directed to the dress circle by the action of a female who suddenly assaulted with great fury two young women who were sitting in an adjoining box, in the company o£ an enter-
prising entrepreneur not unknown in operatic circles. Her onslaught was so sudden and determined that she inflicted considerable damage on one of her victims before she could be restrained. , Jealousy was the apparent cause of the affair, she resenting in this forcible manner the indiscreet gallantry of her ,spouse, who was acting as escort oh . this occasion. All the parties concerned left the theatre, and the performance proceeded in peace.
